RachelJ Art Direction: “This is no ordinary novel. Not even a “A Novel”. This is… “A MOSAIC”. I want every element of the cover– title, subtitle, font, artwork– to blend harmoniously into one vast, resounding “WTF”.

[Note: It’s not my camera. The cover image is just really, really dark and murky and it’s hard to tell what anything is.]
